This might affect a few people here...

""Videos with sexually suggestive (but not prohibited) content will be age-restricted, which means they'll be available only to viewers who are 18 or older," the Google-owned website said. "

Hasn't it always been that way? I have had to click on a page that said content for 18 and above quite a bit to get to certain videos over the life of youtube...

d-null · 12-03-2008, 03:29 PM

and this is new somehow?

Elli · 12-03-2008, 04:18 PM

I guess they decided to start enforcing the old rules a bit more.

adonthenet · 12-03-2008, 04:40 PM

yes, you can upload, but after some time, they will take it down..

What I DO like about this is they are going to start grabbing random screen shots from videos to use as the thumb instead of taking from the same time. Everyone and there mother knew about it and stuck a bikini girl in there so it would be used as the thumb.

They should of done this two years ago.

BTW, suggestive videos will also not appear in the most visited or most popular sections.

I'm sure this will be fairly and evenly enforced.

I thought this was the norm to flag it as inappropriate and that requires a viewer to login to watch it. I don't see this as any different than before.
